Farewell to May
A single yellow bloom. Last photo for May, 2020. Unedited. Bushboy’s challenge.
Hope June brings some resolution.
Light The Night
Snow lights up the night, adding a magical touch.

Older Than Old
When I was ten, my family travelled to England to visit my father’s family. Grandmother gifted us this odd looking vase, something she claimed to be over a hundred years old. I inherited it when my mother went into a nursing home. Always a conversation piece.
This 1,000 year-old tree continues to thrive on Goose Island State Park in Texas. Is there a word for something older than an antique?

Night, Night
Donning Winter’s coat
Summer’s sparkle retreated –
Garden is abed.
First Signs
Green sprig, crimson pop –
ornamental precursor
to giving season.

Autumn Berries
Where leaves have vanished
berries remain, nourishment
for feathered migrants.
(For Cee’s Flower of the Day)
Maple Leaf
Tracing the lines of your perfection,
I remember, childhood discoveries –
wax paper and hot iron,
the smell of fresh raked pranks,
and what it means to be Canadian.
I no longer make leaf art,
nor partake of Autumn cleanup,
but I have not forgotten
the power of your symbolism
and how far we have yet to go.

Welcoming Party
Potted pleasures hail
Autumn’s arrival – gracious
welcoming party.

Only in Texas…
